best whale watching boat?

We will be in Cabo the first part of February and want to do whale watching. Is there a better boat to be on for that? I have motion issues and wear a patch. I did ok on a catamaran last year though. I'm wondering if sailboats are way more motion sickness inducing or are they much worse than a catamaran? Any other comments about the type of boat we should check into for whale watching?

I guessing that any mono hull craft like a sail boat is going to move around more than a more stable bi-hull or tri-hull catamaran. There are several good companies in Cabo to deal with. Pez Gato (our favorite), La Princesa, Rissalena, Tropicat are all good. A relatively new one in town is the Eco Cat. That is one fancy catamaran. Haven't read any reviews on that one yet. There is also a larger single hull boat called Sun Riders and it is great also. It has both an upstairs sun deck and a downstairs (fully windowed) cabin. Sun Riders also provides a full (grilled on shipboard barbeques) lunch as well as an open bar. We used Sun Riders for a sunset cruise and had a great time. Here is a link to my whale watching pictures taken from a Pez Gato catamaran this past February. Camera used was a Canon S3-IS.
